The Orth Brothers contemplate adding a pickling establishment to their present business, for the purpose of putting up pickles in barrels, half barrels, and five-gallon kegs, and coming into competition with the large California trade through the North. The present capacity of the works is about 5,000 gallons per month. THE UTAH POWDER COMPANY is another of the industrial enterprises upon which Ogden may congratulate itself. The corporation was formed in California and Mr. J. H. Knauss, its general agent, was sent on here to locate and start the mills. Having found an available plat of land in the Ogden Canyon, some three miles from the city, the building of the works was at once commenced and, on September 1st, 1882, the manufacture of powder was begun. There are now nine buildings on the ground, entirely separate from each other, and used respectively as crushing mills, amalgamating houses, press and drying houses, and such other buildings as are necessary for the carrying on of the business. The works are run by water power and every precaution is taken against the possibility of accident in any way. The capacity of the works is one hundred kegs of black blasting powTder per diem, and they are turning oat all they can make and in fact have every reason to feel grateful at their success in the business.

M» Langsdorf, Treasurer; and IT. W. O. Margary, Attorney. The Company's land comprised 39 acres lying between the Utah & Northern and Central Pacific tracks. In 1882, a new organization was effected and the Works, under the management of R. L. Jones, were started experimentally with great success. Owing, however, to still further complications they remained in statu quo and so remain still. However, a new company has been formed with P. H. Emerson, President; George F. Brown, Secretary; J. M. Langsdorf, Treasurer; and Messrs. R. Harkness, H. Wood, Wetmore,and W. G. Brown, Directors. The buildings and materials on hand are worth about $50,000; the water right, flumes, turbines etc., about $15,000 to $20,000; and the land about $25, 000; making in all a valuable property which, as the practicability of working it is a demonstrated fact, it is to be hoped will be used for the benefit not only of the company but of the city. The fact of Ogden being the junction of several of the leading railroads of the countrv has been the incentive to the erection of several beer-brewing establishments, where beer not inferior to any imported is manufactured. The oldest brewery in the city is THE U. P. BREWERY, .situated on Fifth Street near Main. This institution arose with the advent of the U. P. R. R. and has steadily increased in the extent of its operations and the popularity of its production. In 1882 the U. P. Brewery put out 3,000 bbls. in bottled and keg beer, and the capacity has been increased since, by the addition of new machinery. The proprietors are Messrs. R. A. Wells and Henry Woolner, both business men of good standing. Boys' Suits in Great Variety at Marks, Goldsmith &, Co, -9* ,11 |
